Impaired endothelial function in lone atrial fibrillation

Does Atrial Fibrillation Follow Function? Ion Channel Mutations and Lone Atrial Fibrillation.

Reduced apelin levels in lone atrial fibrillation.

AIMS Apelin is an endogenous peptide hormone that appears to have a physiological role in counter-regulation of the angiotensin and vasopressin systems. This peptide has been reported to be down-regulated in subjects with acute heart failure, but has not been studied in other cardiovascular conditions. We studied apelin levels in 73 subjects with lone atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RES...

Novel GATA4 mutations in lone atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have established genetic defects as a risk factor for AF in a minority of patients. However, AF is of substantial genetic heterogeneity and the molecular determinants for AF in a majority of cases remain unclear. In th...

Electrophysiological properties in chronic lone atrial fibrillation.

BACKGROUND Although the electrophysiological mechanisms underlying self-sustaining atrial fibrillation (AF) are unclear, recent studies suggest that one requirement for reentry, slow conduction, is frequently present in patients with AF. However, these observations limited to paroxysmal AF may not necessarily apply to chronic AF. Therefore, electrophysiological properties of the atrium and sinu...
